About this episode

The episode discusses the theme of running from God's calling as illustrated by Jonah in John 1:1-10.

In John 1:1-10, we see that Jonah runs from God and His calling, a response that is common to all humans since the fall. Some reject God in obvious ways, some in hidden ways of the heart. Yet, God pursues all kinds of people. The righteous and the unrighteous. The rebellious and the dutiful. The outsider and the insider. The hearts that are near to God and those that are far away. What callings might you be fleeing from right now?
